Vanilla, caramel and dark dried fruit up front, with plum, cherry and a little orange peel. Give it ten minutes to open and it gets rounder and fruitier. The recurring gripe: the alcohol isn't fully tucked in, and the body can turn thin and watery mid-sip. Most tasters land on a pleasant, balanced everyday pour rather than something to study.
The community says- Balanced and easy
- Vanilla and dried fruit
- But: Thin, watery body

How does Saison taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Balanced everyday sipper, a touch thin Seen as a decent, balanced daily rum with vanilla-fruit sweetness. The catch several tasters mention: thin, watery body and alcohol that pokes through.

Review by LukaŽiga
7,2:The resolutely buttery nose of this rum does not detract from its expressiveness, which from the very first moments gives an impression of balance. Simple but well orchestrated, it spreads its spices (cinnamon and especially pepper) and roasted nuts. The coconut is soft and slightly roasted, this sweetness balances quite rightly a small metallic and smoky side that flirts with quince paste. This aspect underlines a lively and tense side of the rum which does not spread out in greediness, just like the caramel which is well present but without giving a sweet impression. The candied orange peel has swollen in these vapours and adds thickness. Aeration is defenitely needed, it takes the power up a notch. The heavier and more concentrated aromas come out with a little polish. At this point, the buttery side is forgotten, the smoky/metallic Trinidadian style asserts itself once again. Jamaica is also present, with its famous "funk" of extremely ripe exotic fruits, and especially banana. More eccentricity then, but also a little more hardness, with a very black wood, although nicely waxed. A cherry or pear brandy bursts at times to bring freshness and dynamism. 7:The entry in the mouth is very soft, with a very light consistency. The tobacco and light leather notes quickly give way to a good woody phase, then to the smoky and metallic side, which itself gradually approaches a very dark cocoa. An oxidised compote of rustic apples brings sweetness and thickness, the balance is quickly established by the toasted wood. 7:The finish is reminiscent of a light metallic touch, molasses, caramel and vanilla. Instead of 6, the rum gets +7 from me, aeration saved the day for it... 👍
Review by ordogh
Round and balanced rum, where the spices play the main role. Balancing good between the dry and sweet side, typical everyday rum, not memorable, but good enough.
Review by Rum man
Starts of sweet and full but that quickly fades. Then it becomes thin and alcoholic. It goes into a short finish which is not very good. Nothing is left. Not sure when or why you want to drink this rum.
Review by Ralle
Der Rum Saison Original präsentiert sich als wunderbar harmonischer Blend, der die typischen Charakterzüge karibischer Rums mit einer eleganten europäischen Reife verbindet. Schon beim Einschenken fällt seine warme, goldene Farbe auf – ein Hinweis auf die Fasslagerung und die sorgfältige Auswahl der Destillate. Nase: Nach dem Eingießen sollte man ihm ein wenig Zeit gönnen. Mindestens 10 Minuten im Glas atmen lassen – das lohnt sich! Anfangs wirkt er noch etwas verschlossen, doch mit Luft entfaltet sich ein angenehm vielschichtiges Bouquet. Fruchtige Noten von reifer Banane, getrockneter Aprikose und einem Hauch Zitrus treten hervor, begleitet von einer weichen, vanilligen Süße. Ein zarter Hauch Eiche und Gewürze rundet das Gesamtbild ab, ohne zu dominant zu sein. Geschmack: Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Rum ausgewogen und weich. Die fruchtigen Aromen spiegeln sich schön wider – Banane, ein wenig Mango, vielleicht auch etwas Karamell. Dazu gesellt sich eine feine Vanillenote, die an Bourbonfässer erinnert, in denen der Rum offenbar nachgereift wurde. Mit zunehmender Zeit im Glas wirkt der Geschmack runder und voller. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden, und es entsteht eine angenehme Balance zwischen Süße, Frucht und Holz. Abgang: Mittellang bis lang, leicht würzig, mit einem Nachhall von Vanille, etwas Honig und tropischer Frucht. Kein scharfer Abgang, sondern ein sanftes Ausklingen, das Lust auf den nächsten Schluck macht. Fazit: Der Rum Saison Original ist ein zugänglicher, der mich besonders durch seine Balance und seinen Preis überzeugt. Wer Rums mit fruchtig-vanilliger Note und weicher Textur schätzt, wird hier auf seine Kosten kommen. Ein schöner Allrounder.

Unremarkable, weak taste
Review by Fifulek
Smell:sweet coffee with cream, almonds/marzipan, cocoa powder (tiramisu vibes). Overall not too complex, but pleasant Taste: weak/watery, alcohol gets in the way, oak, some dark dried fruits (mostly plums and cherries) Finish: medium, changes from sweet chocolate liquor to oak tannins

Actually quite an interesting everyday rum. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not well integrated.
